'APC government destroyed our economy' - Atiku promises to restore economy

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Saturday said he would ensure that Nigeria’s economy is restored if he is elected as President.

Mr Atiku gave the assurance in Yola while speaking at a Mega Rally organized by the state branch of the party.

He also accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of failing to secure the people and their property, as well as worsening the economic situation of the nation.

The former Vice President, who used the occasion to flag off his presidential campaign, promised to revamp Nigeria’s security architecture and fix the economy if elected as president.

He was also hopeful that he would defeat President Muhammadu Buhari and reclaim power from the APC if he was given the PDP ticket.

Abubakar said; “My fellow Nigerians, the government of APC has failed. It has failed to unite Nigeria.

“Today, we are more divided than any other time in the history of this country. APC government has destroyed our economy. They took over an economic growth of seven per cent and brought it down to less than two percent.”

The PDP presidential aspirant said that Adamawa was a PDP state and he would do all things possible to bring back the party to power in 2019.
